Join us for our next meeting and program on WEDNESDAY, November 4th at 6:30 pm (note the change in date to Wednesday due to the General Election).

Dr. Brad Bailey began his work at UPMC Williamsport earlier this year and is anxious to connect with the community served by this health system. At Eagle’s next meeting, Dr. Bailey will present an illustrated program on maintaining healthy joints. A discussion on anterior hip replacements and robotic total knee replacements will address the indications for the procedures, anticipated outcomes of the procedures, how technology is used to enhance the procedures and post-operative expectations.

We hope to see you then!

Congratulations, Eagle Grange!

Eagle Grange #1 has been recognized (for the 6th year) as a 2026 Distinguished Grange by the National Grange!

The National Grange will recognize Eagle Grange along with 53 other Community, Pomona, and Junior Granges and four State Granges at the 160th Annual National Grange Convention in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, this November, as well as in a special National Grange Honors Night on November 20th.

“Earning the title of Distinguished Grange is a powerful reflection of what the Grange can accomplish at the local level,” said National Grange President Christine Hamp. “It recognizes a Grange that is engaged, growing, serving its neighbors, developing leaders, and creating meaningful opportunities for members to make a difference. These Granges are not simply gathering for meetings. They are building stronger communities, welcoming people into the Grange family, and turning ideas into action. Their work represents the very best of who we are and shows the lasting impact a strong Grange can have.”

Eagle Grange submitted a recap of activities, events, and other qualifying data from July 2025 through June 2026, which the National Grange then reviewed.

Eagle Grange was very well represented during the session!

Congratulations:
- to Program Director, Doug Bonsall, on earning 2nd place with his annual report and scrapbook, detailing Eagle Grange's programs during the last year!

- to President, Philip Vonada, and Secretary, Jenn Nauss, for being elected State Grange officers for 2026-2028. Phil was elected Vice President and Jenn was elected Program Director.

Keep up the good work, Eagle Grange!

On Tuesday evening, September 1st, Eagle Grange held our monthly meeting. It was a busy evening with the election of officers, adopting a resolution on data centers to send to the PA State Grange, and reports on the several activities and events that have happened in the last month.

The evening's program was led by Bob Fry, a Grange member from nearby California Grange, who is a talent woodworker. Bob spoke about his art and showed several of his beautiful, handmade wooden bowls. Thank you, Bob, for sharing your gifts with Eagle Grange!
